I know exactly what you mean. I'm just reinstalling 2k3_r2, going to try with a new fresh compile. Thankyou, for your help and your time, hopefully this will resolve the issue. I have researched this for a while before bringing it here, and came up with nothing concrete. Thanks again. Rix

Thanks for bearing with me... event log tells me that authserver failed at address 0x0000bd71 (I dragged the compiled release to my win7 box and it ran), I've got the SSl 2008 redist, and the core was the highest revision from 2 days ago.. since it runs on every other windows I have, could it be just 2k3 being foolish?? I'm considering a reinstall of 2k3... again, I really appreciate your help.. I've had nothing to go on for days!

Thanks for replying, I've got .NET 3.5, and 4 client on the server, and C++ redistributables 2008?? I downloaded an already compiled core to try that, and the same result.. Do you think I should try C++2010 and those redists? when I compare what the XP box has that the server doesn't, the only thing that stands out is that the XP box has .NET1.1 on it (and all the other .NET's up to 4 client).. but surely it can't be that?

Hello all have compiled a Trinity server using your wiki tutorial. No apparent problems, until I try to start the authserver, when I get an error dialog saying "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc000001d)" I'm running a windows 2k3 Dell server (32bit),Mysql 5.5.22, using C++2008 compiler, and I've tried three times to compile this and every time it fails with this error? Can anyone please advise me??? I'm getting desperate!!
